what was your big takeaway last night. watching a horse race at this point. who was the winner last night do you think? >> i think mitt romney walks away the winner. he had more positive things happen as part of the debate. i think obama you can look at your scorecard say he scored zingers, maybe wins on points. in terms of the big take aways. mitt romney was on the stage looking presidential, credible as an alternative to president obama. that's his goal. present himself as a credible alternative, possible choice for undecided voteders. >> so much throughout the debate you heard, mitt romney say i agree with you, mr. president. was it alternative? i don't think the average voter would see too much difference between the two? >> the romney campaign calculation this is going to come down to the economy and that's it. you need to get buy in on the other issues. this could be seen as a possible president on issues of commander-in-chief. i think his goal was to do no harm. not lobbing grenades at the

obama foreign policy. where he had successes he was ready to applaud them. i am going to take what he has done and move it forward. he was the candidate of hope, and presentation of a positive vision more than president obama. >> the bottom line this debate was about foreign policy. certainly as the the president it occurred to me that he has had advantage of four years of foreign policy briefings, what is your sense in terms of mitt romney's grasp of foreign policy? >> it is not a fair fight, really. and president obama four years ago when he was a senator against john mccain it wasn't fair, he didn't have any experience to lean on. governor romney doesn't have the depth of understanding or of experience that president obama, but no challenger does. i think, look, he has been well briefed. a circle of advisers. able to flash his display of facts maybe too much from governor romney. show he gets the stuff. didn't come across to people as out of the mainstream when it comes to foreign policy. that was his goal.

>> has he moved off to the middle, seeming more mainstream, more moderate. this was very different language, a lot more talk about peace. >> less aggressive. >> building civil societies, less aggressive, different than the primaries. >> no question. you saw the republican as the the candidate of peace, peace through strength, returning to the themes. he did pull his punches today. if this had been the first debate we would talk how mitt romney talked opportunities for distin it is not the first debate. mitt romney's goal was not to blow things up and start over again. it was to continue the momentum. president obama needed to come in more aggressive. he did that as well. >> did mitt romney continue the momentum? clearly when he came into the debate, i think he had that momentum going with him. if he did, does change -- does it change anything? >> mitt romney has had a couple good weeks. don't think he did anything to turn it around. president obama, gets a couple points in the polls with his base continuing to feel strongly

abut hout his candidacy. we are back to tied. we have gone through all, and essentially a tied race, in our polling, other polling. duke it out over the economy the next two weeks. >> it is impossible to overstate the importance of ohio over the next two weeks. >> that its the state both campaigns have circled. they will return there over and over again over the next two weeks. if you are mitt romney it is almost impossible to chart a victory that doe't include ohio. for the obama campaign they know that, romney can't win without it. they can prevent the romney victory winning there. the critical state. interestingly it has seemed impervious to the national trend over the last couple weeks. the one state among the battleground. president obama remains above 50%. >> all about ohio. >> all eyes on the buckeyes. rick, appreciate you being here. abc's, new senior washington editor, rick klein, again, rick, thank you, always good to have you here my friend. >> thank you, guys. >> you are watching "world news now."

welcome back, everyone. we have some important news. health news here for women. some expert are out with new guidelines meant to protect women from cervical cancer. >> there will be anne estimated 12,000 new cases of cervical cancer in the u.s. this year. a third will be fatal. as for new guidelines here is abc's dr. tim johnson. >> reporter: cervical cancer has declined more than 50% in the u.s. over the past 30 years because of increased screening. and the american college of obgyn has made a big change in its cervical cancer screening guidelines. it now says that women between the ages of 30 and 65 should get pap tests, accompanied by screening for the human papiloma

virus only once every five years. the college continues to recommend getting a pap test every three years for women between 21 and 29. and does not recommend cervical cancer screening for women under 21 even those who are sexually active. but the college does stress that women should be vaccinated against the hpv virus that causes cervical cancer. and just because women don't need a pap test every year, that does not mean that they should put off seeing their gynecologist for other health reasons. i'm dr. timothy johnson. isn't that something, apparently cervical cancer worldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women. of course much less common in the united states, because of this routine pap smear. >> wonder too when you see stories, how much people should get a checkup. some times standard cause debate. few years ago breast cancer what age you should get it done. i wonder if any one would

challenge that or what have you? >> or is it going to evolve. >> either way better to be safe than sorry. >> better to just get it done. >> we will lighten the mood next, coming up "the mix." the arteries of your dishwasher are constantly clogging up

>> excellent. >> good to see you and have you back here. >> last night's debate was considerably more low key than the second debate. the candidates tangleded on a number of serious issues. we'll get to the details of the debate in a moment. first a look at the other stories we are following for you this half-hour. >> lots going on. he deserves to be forgotten, the word from cycling's top official about, yeah, lance armstrong as he stripped the seven time tour de france winner of all his titles. the final nail in the coffin of what was considered to be a storied and epic career. what a spectacular fall from grace for lance. >> my goodness. >> incredible. i don't know any other athlete disgraced publicly and quickly. >> dethroned. he hasn't answered the questions everyone has. >> he gave of a statement a few weeks, i'm over it, done, not addressing these things. apparent low ly he is not. also this half-hour, we are

learning new details about the man who opened fire at a spa in wisconsin. his violent past, his wife's constant fears, how he was able to buy carry out his deadly threats. and that is a story that -- that we hear too often. so, it's -- it's a loophole that need to beaddressed. >> i will tap your legal expertise coming up on that. later, if not the strangest whip to sell a bottle of perfume, certainly the most mocked. brad pitt's bizarre ad for chanel number 5, the take offs and what people are saying about the odd but viral new commercial. what's the thing, no such thing as bad press. this thing is getting a lot of press. >> he looks good i think. >> do you understand what the man is saying? >> no. you don't have to he is brad pitt. look at him. >> the word don't matter. i watched it twice. i don't know what the boy is talking about. he got paid a lot to say

whatever. before we get to all of that, the presidential candidates hit the campaign trail running this morning. fresh off their third and final debate. >> that's right. the focus on global issues. but both men tried to hammer home points about jobs and the economy. >> believe it or not, we are now down to the final two weeks of this race. and abc's karen travers is at the debate site in boca raton, florida. with the latest. good morning, karen. >> reporter: good morning, rob. good morning, sunny. last night here in florida, president obama and mitt romney really turned down the temperature from their last debate. less interrupttions, fewer fiery exchanges, but still tried to emphasize their key differences on foreign policy issues. president obama took every chance he could to remind mitt romney and the voters watching at hem ome he is the one with experience on foreign policy. >> i know you haven't been in position to execute foreign policy. >> reporter: romney tried to neutralize the president right

out of the gate. >> mr. president, i congratulate him on taking out osama bin laden and going after the leadership in al qaeda. but we can't kill our way out of this mess. >> reporter: the president kept up a steady barrage. >> your strategy previously has been one that has been all over the map. and is not designed to keep americans safe or to build on the opportunities that exist in the middle east. >> reporter: it was a tricky balancing act for romney, on many key foreign policy, use his statements on the campaign trail are similar to those from the white house. on syria, he emfa sized the u.s. needs to take a leadership role and diplomatic efforts first and foremost. >> i don't think there is a necessity to put our military in syria at this stage. >> he doesn't have different idea. and that's because we are doing exact plea what we should be doing. >> reporter: as expected the candidates drifted from foreign policy to the number one issue on voters' mind. the economy. >> america must lead. and for that to happen, we have to strengthen our economy here at home. you can't have 23 million people

struggling to get a job. >> what we also have been able to do is position our self so we can start rebuilding america, that's what my plan does. >> reporter: there are few remaining undecided voters left. and beoth campaigns say the majority of them are women. last night, president obama and mitt romney, emphasized the domestic angles of their foreign policies in order to try to sway them. rob, sunny, back to you. >> thank you, a lot, karen. amazing, there were certain points in the debate wait this is supposed to be about foreign policy. they brought it back to the economy. talked about education, teachers. let's stick to topic. bob s bob -- bob schieffer had to bring them back to topic. >> that is smart for mitt roichlt that romney. president obama having the press

breachin . briefings. romney had to shift the conversation to the economy. i felt he did pretty well with that. >> especially in tough economic news. the country will be much more interested in domestic issues, than foreign policy. bring it become to your sweet spot. that's what mitt romney did last night. stunning how much you heard. i agree with you, mr. president. i support this. i agree with you on that. it wasn't important to distinguish himself on foreign policy, because his strength is the economy. and that is obama's achilles heel. >> i don't know that you can quibble much with the way the obama administration has dealt with foreign policy. he has done what he needs to do. i think mitt romney sort of agreed with that. what was also very interesting to me was the auto bailout. and how mitt romney had to deal with that. because we know he wrote that n op-ed in "the new york times" and haunting him. and obama pulled that out and

said, listen you sent jobs to china. you would have let the, the auto companies fail. and i thought it was interesting that, mitt romney sort of embraced his detroit roots and, you know, portrayed himself as a detroit. >> a native of michigan, born in detroit. my dad was in the car business. put it all out there. also, underscores again the importance of the midwest, particularly ohio when they stress that about auto industry. that's what everyone is going for. look at the trend now. florida going towards romney. ohio becomes absolutely clutch for both men. who ever wins ohio at this point is going to be the next guy in the white house. >> just been fascinating. >> two weeks left. >> one quick thing. i loved when the moderator said, go vote it mamakes you feel big strong. >> bob schieffer. indeed. moving on to other news, official tour de france record books will show no rider won that race from 1999 all the way to 2005. lance armstrong was formerly stripped of his seven tour titles yesterday and also banned

anyone. i thought this was actually barack obama's best moment. and to me the commander-in-chief test and strong and decisive was actually the most important thing in the campaign. it's why mitt romney rose in the aftermath of the first debate. i thought the president came across that way. a few instances i thought he came across a little aggressive. as you watch the debate you. can see he is clear, decisive and make the decisions you need to make. on that regard i give him an a. >> he seems more confident in this area? >> he is the commander-in-chief right now. let's just leave it at that. it wasn't quite as hard for him to reach that level of an a or a minus. than it was for mitt romney. >> bottom line, the winner in your judgment? >> i am not going to say there is a clear winner. overall, obama scored more points. mitt romney probably was just, showing up and saying, lack i'm on the same stage as he is. i don't want to make any waves. i don't want to talk about war. i don't want to scare anybody. >> barack obama, got the commander chief passed in colors. i think he won.

fairly clear. decisive and fairly clear. i don't think mitt romney hurt himself. i think barack obama may have helped himself a point or two in the course of the debate. >> and we'll be back right after this. i'm only in my 60's... i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

this morning on "world news now" -- the final face-off. president obama and mitt romney tangle on foreign policy. >> but both candidates trying to steer the talk to issues back here at home as they debated in that crucial swing state of florida. it's tuesday, october 23rd. >> announcer: from abc news, this is "world news now." good tuesday morning, i'm sunny hostin. paula faris is on assignment. >> i'm rob nelson. good to be back. good to see you again. >> good to see you as always. >> indeed. here we go again. old pros at this. in just a moment, we'll hear how both sides fared in the final debate last night. of course, romney/obama locked in a very tight race.

also this half-hour, a trail of terror. we are learning more about the gunman that shot up the day spa in suburban milwaukee and what he had done to his wife before he killed her and two other women. >> unbelievable. unbelievable. then we will hear bravery in action, the 911 tapes are released of a 10-year-old girl home alone and keeping her cool when three burglars broke in. >> wow. see, presence of mind at that age. >> at 10. >> pretty impressive. later, just married. newlyweds justin timberlake and jessica biel, good-looking couple there, step out in italy as we learn some juicy details about their wedding. the bride did not wear white, hmm. [ laughter ] i guess not. we'll have the scoop coming up in "the skinny". >> you're terrible. >> she is keeping it real. i respect that. first, 2012 presidential debates are in the books after the third and final debate in boca raton, florida. >> that's it, with the race

extremely close, both candidates hope to score some points with undecided voters. all three of them left. as they argued over foreign policy issues. >> voters now have just two weeks to make up their minds. abc's terry moran takes a look at the last debate as we head into the homestretch. [ applause ] [cheers and applause] >> reporter: the two men who would be president squared off for the last time. leadership, the real issue in every presidential debate. and president obama launched a direct attack on whether mitt romney is ready to be leader of the free world. >> here is one thing i learned as commander-in-chief, you have got to be clear, both to our allies and our enemies, about where you stand. >> reporter: romney said obama is simply not demonstrating presidential leadership. >> attacking me is not talking about how we are going to deal with the challenges in the middle east. >> reporter: romney accused the president of undermining american strength by not spending enough on defense.

>> our navy is smaller now than any time since 1917, the navy said they needed 313 ships to carry out their mission. we are down to 285. >> reporter: obama brusquely dismissed romney as a clueless neophyte in national security. >> well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because of the nature of our military has changed. >> reporter: country after country, crisis after crisis they slugged it out. the president offered a dramatic contrast. >> when i came into office, the world was divided. iran was resurgent. iran is at its weakest point, economically, strategically, militarily, than since, than in many years. when it comes to going after osama bin laden, you said well any president would make that call. but, when you were a candidate in 2008, as i was, i said if i got bin laden in our sights, i would take that shot. you said, we shouldn't move heaven and earth to get one man. >> reporter: mitt romney tried to undermine the president's osama bin laden triumph with a blunt line.

>> i congratulate him on taking out osama bin laden and going after the leadership in al qaeda, but we can't kill our way out of this mess. we must have a comprehensive strategy to help reject this kind of extremism. >> reporter: at the end both men had probably achieved some of what they had come to do, project strength, demonstrate competence and get the debate out of the way so they can refocus on domestic issues where this election will be decided. >> the final presidential debate is in the books. now the final sprint to election day can begin. >> joining us with his analysis, senior washington editor, rick klein. rick, as always, thank you for being here. did last night's debate, did you think move the needle at all in what is an increasingly tight race? >> i think mitt romney's folks feel good about things coming out of the debate. not because it fundamentally changed the race or moved the polling needle. they had momentum going night. their watch word was do no harm. they didn't want to do anything to interrupt the fact that people are giving mitt romney a second look. foreign policy an important box to check.

i think he stood his own against the president is an important foreign policy debate. >> how did the president do? because really as the incumbent, having had the advantage of sitting in on four ars of all of these foreign policy briefings, it, would occur to most people that he really had the stronger position going into the, tonight's debate? >> that's right. i think he scored more points in terms of zingers. almost reversal of the first debate. you saw mitt romney so much more aggressive. this time it was president obama the aggressor. he took it to mitt romney time and time again. think he did a lot of good among his base. reminded him he is the president, the one who has been in there as commander in chief. i think he overcorrected at times. seemed like he was going out of his way to find ways to belittle mitt romney. mitt romney has already found a way to show to voters that he belongs out there here, can go toe to toe with the president when it comes to terrorism and national security. >> over the next two weeks,

where do you think they will devote their resources in the critical final weeks? >> camp out in ohio. the one state, mitt romney can't win without. one state that president obama can deny a victory by winning. that is the key state to this election no matter how you cut it. interestingly the last couple weeks that have seen battleground state polls and national polls, tip towards mitt romney. ohio the stubborn case. mitt romney has stayed below 45% 4, 4%. president obama, 50% or higher continually there. that is the critical state in the election. >> critical yet again. all eyes on the state. new senior washington editor, rick klein. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, guys. now we turn to breaking news overnight as the search for a missing new jersey girl comes to a tragic end. the body of 12-year-old autumn pasqual has been found in a recycling container not far from where she was seen saturday. some 200 law enforcement personnel have been searching for the girl since her disappearance. an autopsy expected to be performed later this morning. new and disturbing details in that deadly shooting at a milwaukee area day spa.

we have learned that the man who killed his wife and two others had terrorized his wife for years. he threatened to throw acid in her face, slashed her tires and poured tomato juice on her car. the couple was in the process of divorcing. a high-risk time for violence according to experts. >> about 1 million people a year have a domestic violence restraining order. women tend to take those out at a time when they're trying to end the relationship. haunting word from the victim who wrote in the restraining order that her husband threatened to kill her if she ever left. his threats terrorize my every waking moment. >> i have to ask, you see this kind of thing a lot, why does it always seem to take some one getting killed or badly hurt for there to be any substantive action that could prevent a tragedy like this? >> you know, domestic violence cases are very difficult. i will say, some jurisdictions

do a good job where you have that cohesive effort, a woman, or man, domestic violence on both side are protected a lot of times there is the loophole and people fall through the cracks. that's what seems to happen. i will say in my experience, i did prosecute domestic violence cases at the u.s. attorney's office. bottom line if someone is intent to do you harm, unfortunately a piece of paper may not protect you. you have to take extra steps, other steps. >> typically what do those include? >> sometimes theylude leaving the area, going to a shelter, really cutting off all ties with the person and with your family. sometimes you have to completely remove yourself from the situation. >> hard to do. kids involved. >> of course. of course. >> such a sad story, seemingly an avoidable one, but. >> terrible. 10-year-old peyton mock from camus -- i hope i am pronouncing that right -- oregon.

was home from school with a fever and her mom had gone out to the grocery store when three men rang the doorbell. because she didn't know them she didn't open the door. smart girl. they broke a window and came in instead. peyton was terrified. she kept her wits about her. hid in the pantry and called 911. >> 911, how may i help you? >> i'm at my house. my mom's at the grocery store and someone got into my house. i'm in my pantry and they're upstairs. i can't -- >> you hear noises upstairs? >> yes. i saw them. >> the police and her mother were there within minutes. they caught one of the intruders and he is helping them identify the other two. now, peyton is known as the home alone girl. i would say the little hero. >> amen to that. quick thinking, that age. well done. well done. >> smart little girl. here is your tuesday forecast. another couple inches of snow in the sierras and cascades. up to 10 inches in the northern

welcome back. with 14 days to go until election day, the candidates are hopscotching all over the map spending their time and resources in the battleground states that will decide the election. >> it is nitty-gritty time. they're targeting voters in ways you probably don't even realize. abc's john donvan tells us exactly what they're doing. >> reporter: as this tight election heads towards a photo finish there are really two presidential campaigns taking place. there is the one you saw on the debate stage. it is also there in the tv ads. and the big speeches. but then there is the other campaign, a stealthier one, where messages get tailored just for you and are delivered not in front of the tv cameras, but right to your mailbox.

>> they will have a prediction, the likelihood that you -- are a gun owner. the campaign can make sure when they're talking about gun rights they're sending it to people they think own a gun. >> reporter: not sending the same message to a person that does not own a gun. it is called micro targeting, says sasha eisenberg, the author of a new book, called "the victory lap." >> you can have a different conversation with every person on the block. >> reporter: to do that they have to figure out who you are and what is important to you. how do they do that? data. truck load of it. in the modern world you are leaving information about yourself everywhere you go and the campaigns are buying it up. they use it to build a profile of you. say you watch "30 rock" and drink molsen, probably a democrat who votes. if your beer of choice is coors light, and watching "ncis," odds are you are a loyal republican. >> reporter: if you are sitting home tomorrow afternoon, and there is a knock on the door, romney or obama volunteer they know something about you

knocking on your door? >> they know a lot and made assumptions about you. >> reporter: they're not at your door by accident? >> not at all. we are way past accidents. >> reporter: which means campaign ads are popping up in the unlikeliest places, obama ads in video games. >> one of the variables of obama's campaign in 2008, was to predict support for him, presence of a teenager in the household. they went out and found video games you can buy ads in the video games and bought early vote reminders. >> reporter: does it work? there is nothing to show definitely that these tactics put them over the finish line. instead, eisenberg says, in the end the single most important piece of predictive data isn't what beer you drink but whether you are a registered democrat or republican, which is publicly available on the voter rolls. john donvan, abc news, washington. >> big brother is watching. >> ain't that truth. whoo. >> when we come back we will see what is in "the skinny." >> you're watching "world news now." >> announcer: "world news now" continues after this from our abc stations. watching
